Lu Zifeng led his men around the foot of the mountain and ran towards the official road, which was the proper road.
After running for just an hour, I saw a scout galloping towards me on horseback. He ran up to me and said.
"Captain, there are about 5,000 Tatar soldiers thirty miles ahead. They seem to be being pursued and are now running towards us in disarray."
Lu Zifeng was delighted when he heard this, thinking that these were the people brought by Situ Yi who were chasing him!
"Everyone, listen up! Hurry up and head up the forest to ambush the Tatars. When they get here, we'll stop them."
When everyone heard this, they all ran towards the mountains and forests. This was a good opportunity to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out. A mere 5,000 or so defeated soldiers were nothing to be afraid of.
Sure enough, in less than an hour, a group of Tatar soldiers came running from the south. It seemed that these Tatar soldiers were in disarray and their formation was also chaotic.
Lu Zifeng stood on the mountain and looked to the south with a telescope. He saw that Situ Yi's two thousand troops had caught up. He thought that they would catch up in just a quarter of an hour, so he gave orders directly.
"Cao Yong, Liu Can, don't bring 500 men with you. Split up and attack the Tatar army in two groups. We must break up their army and not let them fight each other. That would be too dangerous for us."
Cao Yong and the other man took orders and rushed down the hillside with their men.
The Tatars who were fleeing on the official road at the foot of the mountain were frightened by the Daewoo army that suddenly rushed down the mountain and fled in panic, making the already disorganized team even more chaotic.
Liu Can and Cao Yong each dispersed the Tatar army, shuttling back and forth continuously, dividing the entire army into several groups. When they wanted to break out of the encirclement, they were surrounded by Situ Yi's troops who were chasing them from behind.
Seeing that the formation had been stabilized, Lu Zifeng led 500 people to chase the fleeing group of people, the ones who had just escaped in the chaos. According to Lu Zifeng's guess, there must be a big fish there, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people protecting them while they escaped.
It took half an hour to chase these people.
Tuoba Qing glanced at Lu Zifeng and the others, then looked back at the people around him with a wry smile. He knew that he was finished. Now all his people combined were only a few dozen people.
"My name is Tuoba Qing. We are willing to surrender. I wonder if the young general can guarantee my safety?"
Lu Zifeng looked at him expressionlessly and said, "I'm just taking you back. At least you'll be safe before you meet the Marshal. As for what happens after that, it's not my business!"
After hearing what Lu Zifeng said, Tuoba Qing felt relieved. He was quite familiar with the behavior of the people in Dayu Dynasty over the years, and then he said to his people.
"Everyone, put down your weapons and follow them back! We've lost."
Lu Zifeng heard a sense of desolation in Tuoba Qing's words, but he was too lazy to pay attention to them. He just waved his hand and asked his men to tie them up and take them back.
When Lu Zifeng was bringing these captives back, he saw Situ Yi running to pick him up.
"Hahahaha, Zifeng, you're really amazing! Not only did you capture the young master of the Tatar tribe, you also captured the third prince of Tatar. This time we've won a great victory!"
Lu Zifeng shook his head. "You're too kind. If you hadn't chased them so hard this time, I wouldn't have had a chance, right?"
After the two groups joined forces, they headed south. Was King Jing still waiting for them there?
Two hours later, the two men and their men met the scouts sent by King Jing. After learning about it, they found out that King Jing had sent more than a dozen teams to encircle and suppress the Tatar army in Suzhou Prefecture.
Back in the military camp, when the third prince and a young master of a tribe were sent to King Jing, King Jing was also shocked. He did not expect that the third prince of Tatar was actually in Suzhou Prefecture. Fortunately, he was captured by Lu Zifeng this time. Otherwise, if he escaped, then the two countries would lose the most advantageous bargaining chip in the negotiations.
King Jing really didn't expect that these two children were so powerful. They had achieved such great achievements in just two days and two nights.
Lu Zifeng returned to his tent and finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was his first real battle in the army. It was God's help that he could achieve such a great achievement. He killed five to six thousand people and helped Situ Yi kill several thousand people. He also captured nearly five thousand horses.
For the rest of the time, Lu Zifeng and his men did not go out on their own, but each time they fought together with King Jing from Suzhou Prefecture all the way to Kunzhou Prefecture. However, they encountered the 150,000 Tatar troops stationed there.
Emperor Situ Yong in the capital also received the battle report and was very happy. It seemed that his younger brother was still very capable. It had only been a short time since he went on the expedition, but he had already recaptured Suzhou and had now reached Kunzhou Prefecture. It would not be long before all the Tatars were driven out of the Dayu Dynasty.
Lu Minghan had just returned home when he heard that his third brother had come again. He suddenly felt a headache again and directly instructed the housekeeper Lu Fangdao.
"Don't tell him I'm back, just let him wait!"
Lu Fang asked hesitantly.
"Duke, the third master has brought his three sons here, and asked you to choose one."
Lu Fang actually didn't want to say this, but the third master kept sitting in the front hall and refused to leave, so he had no choice but to tell the truth!
After hearing this, Lu Minghan felt a pain in his heart and had difficulty breathing. He quickly reached out to cover his chest.
Lu Fang was even more shocked when he saw this. He knew what was going on with the Duke, so he shouted.
"Quick, go get the doctor."
Someone said, "Go and tell the lady to come over."
Lu Fang secretly hated himself at this moment. Knowing that his own Duke had this disease, why did he say these things and make him angry?
But it was too late to regret now, so he hurriedly helped the Duke to the study, took out the pills and fed them to him.
In fact, Lu Minghan's condition was not that serious. He had been poisoned for decades. He knew very well that his illness was caused by the poisoning, but after so many years, he still could not be cured, so he gave up. He had also come to terms with not having children. Although I could feel that he was very uncomfortable just now, with so many years of experience, he quickly calmed down and did not really get sick. Instead, he pretended to be sick to get rid of that scoundrel.
Seeing that Lu Fang's complexion had improved after taking the medicine, I, Lu Minghan, finally breathed a sigh of relief. If anything happens to the Duke because of what I said, I will be the one who bears the blame!
When Cui heard that the Duke was ill, she rushed over in a hurry. After entering the study, she found that her own Duke was sitting there drinking tea in good health!
